We have a lovely little mixed young flock from Meyer. The meal-maker turned out to be a beautiful Dominique who also is out our first and only (to date) layer.
She has started running around in and out of the coop making all sorts if noise whenever we go into the coop. I'm not sure if she is...
I've been reading chicken catalogs in anticipation of our first order this spring. I read the behaviors of chickens. Reading all the reviews here in BYC.
What do you think? A mixed flock or a single breed and why?
We are just in the research phase, looking for coops/plans/pic, etc.
We are looking (in the spring) for 6 hens with a more docile nature (neighbors are great, but I want to keep it that way).
This site looks to be just what we needed.
